Be careful. Replacing, or even adjusting, the sights on most S&W pistols is a painful process as they are generally so tightly fitted. Do not - I repeat - DO NOT - think you can just loosen the set screw on the rear sight and move it out of the dovetail easily to replace it with you brand new sights.
Also, it is very possible to break the tritium vials on the sights by using a punch and hammering on them to get them to go in the dovetail.
That said, the easiest procedure is to send it back to S&W for installation of night sights. The best ones are probably Trijicon or Meprolight. S&W will put the slide on their really cool hydraulic press and "zip" the sights will be out and "zip" the new ones back in without any damage to the sights or the slide.
